I MUST EAT LESS

Wednesday, 5 August 2015

A favourite at the moment is cooking a diced tomato in a bowl - 2 mins in the microwave, remove, crack an egg directly onto the molten toms which should soft cook it, add hot water and a sachet of your favourite instant soup mix, mine is Ainsley Herriot's Thai Chicken, then add half a diced avocado - yummy!

It staved off hunger pangs for a couple of hours and then I "pigged out" on 3 leftover chicken wings, a spoonful of rice and some cauliflower cheese (2 florets and the sauce). The dessert of pistachio, hazelnut and salted caramel ice cream undid all the good work probably!

Were it that my lunch consisted solely of almonds, but it was an accompaniment to a few cocktail sausages and one helping of wild mushroom soup. The night before I'd had a horrible dream where my thighs had the appearance of pasty white obesity. So, for breakfast I had a mug of coffee and some fruit - a kiwi, peach and some small plums. I'd also nibbled at H's unfinished scrambled eggs, about a tablespoonful of this and a small cocktail sausage roll.

to chronicle every morsel consumed. suffice to say that the new regime of not eating after 6pm seems to be settling down again after a minor glitch last thursday.

last thursday, i went out with some of the girls from work and had sashimi and too much sake and other alcohol. wow, did i press self destruct? f was mightily peeved off with me as i rolled home near 3am on friday. we nearly had a bust up but i made it up to him the following day and took him out to lunch on sat.

so sunday saw us both loved up again and the diet regime firmly back in place.

today i was determined to cut down on the caffeine and only had 3 shots of espresso and about 2 cups of chai tea latte.

for lunch i had some left over roast chicken and green beans and carrots and dined at 6 on stir fried noodles with mackerel and salad. in between meals i'm drinking some chamomile tea and plenty of water.

stil trying to be good. coffees for brekkie , lunching as the main meal and dining on soup or salad with cheese. cutting down on the carbs but still drinking the same amt of alcohol. so give it another week and see if there be results!

little did i guess how difficult it would be. whilst i was on my epic journey home (ok alright, it was only a mere 20 hours via HK) i thought it would be fairly easy. as i quietly congratulated myself for turning down plane food and drank plenty of water i also imagined that it should be easy enough in the coming days to graze on lettuce leaves and nibble moderately on the odd treat - blue cheese, pate, foie, etc...

i hadn't counted on how well mix had been looking after all at home with her yummy recipes. i came home at about 10pm and simply had to have a portion of the above chicken and mash pie laced with a vodka cream sauce and then finish with a slice of that heavenly chocolate iced cake. oh dear oh dear .... will power, wherefore art thou gone!

why

i tried on the autumn clothes in my wardrobe and hated what i saw in the mirror. some of my cords, well, i couldn't even get into them - granted they were size 10 ... i hate the belly roll on me and fantasize about a tummy tuck. but know that i won't go there.

so this blog is about food, the less of it eaten by me the better. although others in the household will not go without.
